PoptartsNinja posted:Good thing Devlin Stone decided the best thing to do to foster a strong national identity was piss everyone off by forcibly relocating entire planetary populations at massive expense in an effort to "end racism" Yeah, the parallels between how the ROTS was 'blessed' into existence and the creation of the Israeli State has always made that setting a tad uncomfortable for me. Then again, if you didn't plant the seeds of its destruction during its creation, it wouldn't be very Battletech.

paragon1 posted:Maybe this time the Fed/Draconis border will be the one relatively peaceful border in the Inner Sphere! Possible; the Horses under Roberts become the 'free trade cordon peacekeepers', with special agents and everything. Kinda like the sectional 'police' along the Silk Road. Hell, look at the backlash against 'Open Borders' globally these past two years, and apply that to the IS.

Narsham posted:The Dream Team lineup (that probably will never happen) would be the King Cobra, Korean Robert in whatever, Dadlas and JagerMom, all as one big lethal family. What you really should be considering is the OPFOR to throw against this line-up. Add in the Screamer to make it a Star, and have them face off against an Assault Cluster for the ultimate Trial of Refusal with the upcoming Clan Invasion - Second Wave.

thetruegentleman posted:Battle of Tukayyid Two: Clan Crew Hullabaloo. All the fan favorites thrown together to face down a bunch of Clan Khans and their command squads. I like it, have the Trial of Refusal be Tukayyid style with the thread favs instead of the canon Strana Mechty one-on-one. Caballeros (I personally don't like them), Death Commandos, Hawks, Hanse, Uncle Chandy, Korean Roberts, Red Corsair, Steiner Boxing Rules, Wrassling Pirates, and all the others I've forgotten. thetruegentleman posted:Big down side is that I can only see it happening when PTN wants to either change the thread or end it. How do you figure? Plenty of story left to tell, just because you stop the Clans, doesn't mean history ends. Heck, we had 3 Eras after the Clans in-canon.

So, can someone please explain the setup and nature of this mission to me? Because I think I'm about as lost as these jumpships. Where are we exactly? Did we make it to Clan Space? Why are we deploying against The Coyotes? Why are we even landing at all?? Did I miss an update somewhere?

dis astranagant posted:Most of the jumpships made it and we're attacking just as soon as enough people quit vomiting to make a half coherent squad. raverrn posted:The NRWR sent a collection of 10 Jumpships on a one-way trip into Clan space. Having arrived in-system, they are now landing on whatever planet this is to kill clanners and get a reaction. As of right now the force is stuck in-system because the jump killed their drives. Presumably we're going to shoot the place up, wait for a reaction, then steal the responder's Jumpships. dis astranagant posted:Most of the jumpships made it and we're attacking just as soon as enough people quit vomiting to make a half coherent squad. Thanks, that's what I figured; just, thought we'd get more flavor text before the deployment. At the very least, I thought we'd find out what planet we're at, and why we're deploying against The Coyotes. I guess it doesn't matter if we're doing 'Scorched Earth', we can start on any piece of ground we find.

Strobe posted:I am super-pumped for even the distant possibility of a return to the First Hidden War where Kerenskyean and Kuritan MechWarriors routinely challenge each other to duels in single combat. I'm assuming you mean First Hidden War post time skip, as opposed to the cannon First Hidden War? Kerenskyean and Kuritan Top Gun would be awesome; The Gunslinger Program and TRO is probably my most favorite bit of fluff in BT.
